I am trying to decide what gears to get to go with my 2.94 1st gear T5. When I had the 3.35 1st, my 3.55's were good for 1.9's without a burnout. After seeing my 60's with the new tranny, I need more gear to get me out of the hole. Does anyone have any before and after numbers when going from one ratio to another?

So what happened on the big end? Shouldnt the ET drop if you lower the 60ft?

if you don't botch the run....lol such as miss a gear...only 1/8th anyhow... I haven't had the car at the track much, our local track has changed owners like four times lately, and no one seems to want to keep it open.....
